Freaks But Family

Chapter 8: I'll add kidnaping children to my resume

Today, now that we are back in the present, we're gonna visit some family. Will Favion die along the way, will someone end up making a mistake, are people willing to escape from what is going to happen? Let's find out together. And I know that this sounds like it's a funny story, but trust me it was pain and torture for the people involved.

Dr. Gomez looks at the videos from Favion's body cam, she knew he snuck out somewhere, she just didn't know where. But what she sees pleases her, there are four people that she can use to get what she needs. But she knows that they are old enough to not trust her, so she'll have to do what has always worked, use young minds.

"Here are the addresses, as far as I know only one of them has a child." Gomez talks to her team and Favion. "I need those kids."

While people leave the room to do their assignments, Favion stays behind to talk to Gomez, "Why, why do you need kids?"

Gomez glares at him, "I need to find out how these people have those powers, and to do so I need people that know them. And only one of them has a child, and that child also has powers."

"If I knew you kept that body cam on me I wouldn't have gone at all!" Favion points an accusing finger at Gomez, "What do you even need these kids for anyways?"

Gomez grabs Favion by the collar of his jacket and looks him in the eyes, "Listen here, Thorn and Madness are destroying everything I have worked for! These kids can give me the secret to beating them, now you either cooperate or you can leave!"

Favion calmly has her let go of him, "I want to stop them too, but I don't want to be involved in this. I'll stay here and help you monitor and lead the teams, but I won't go out there and hurt those kids."

Gomez hesitates with his compromise before smiling, "That's what I like to hear. Now, you've met them, you know what they can do, give the teams a heads up."

Favion sighs, "Fine, just promise that if we do get the kids, nothing bad will happen to them. cause those people are capable of anything."

Gomez nods, "I promise, I kept Madness and Thorn safe, I will do the same for these kids."

It's the middle of the night, ever since she's gone blind, Melissa has had a hard time falling asleep. Tyler is staying with his family for the month so she's alone in her room, laying in bed trying to fall asleep. After a while she gives up, she sits up and grabs one of her fiancés hoodies at the foot of her bed, pulls it over her Front Bottoms shirt, takes the blindfold out of the pocket of her sweat pants and ties it around her eyes. She takes her combat boots out from under her bed and puts them on over her fuzzy socks.

She stands up and stretches her arms over her head, she sighs before slowly walking to her door and out of her room. She's the only one awake, she knows that for sure, she heads for the stairs of the mansion and heads down to the second level. She's about to go all the way downstairs when she feels something, like someone isn't supposed to be in the few rooms away from her. Melissa slowly starts walking towards the door, the nursery. She hears one of the children start to cry, she quickly runs to the door, rips it open, only to nearly miss someone throwing a punch.

Melissa's instant reaction is to punch back, she feels her fist hit a nose and hears a sickening crack. She reaches down and feels a knife on the person's thigh, she removes it and uses it to stab them in the stomach. She then proceeds to lash her leg out in a high kick hitting the person in the side of the face and she hears as their body hits the floor. From her left she hears someone else opening a window and a crying baby. She rushes to the window and reaches out, only for the person to jump out of the window beforehand.
